Dear Family,
Advent is a special time of year to gain spiritual fruits, particularly peace and joy. A special mediator of these graces is our
Blessed Mother Mary. In her humanity, she responded with virtue in a special way when the Lord Jesus entered into her life. Her response teaches us lessons that we can best learn from her in the history of salvation.
Ascension offers a new program specifically written to help Catholics
prepare for Jesus’ birth as Mary did. It guides you through Mary’s experiences and encounters and sheds light on how they relate to our preparation for Christmas.
This program is called Rejoice! Advent Meditations with Mary, from Fr. Mark Toups. It pairs thought-provoking and meaningful meditations with beautiful artwork and encouraging, inspirational videos.
This year, we have the opportunity to share these engaging Marian Advent reflections in video and journal form through Ascension’s Rejoice! program. We will be holding an Advent Mission Night on
November 30th at 7pm in Nazareth Hall. It’s an opportunity to draw more intentionally into the season of Advent and to obtain the grace associated with Advent devotion.
Please RSVP at the office.
Join us on
November 30th for these popular Marian reflections and exercises on Advent.
God bless,
Fr. Juan & Fr. Tom
